Hi - Still there?
Hi - Sounds good. I don't know python code, but am writing my app in visual basic. I don't know if there is overlap but I've handled a lot of problems in my app. If you have a problem, feel free to ask for suggestions.Hi!
I write a python code. I have 6 different scheduled folder.
Hours a/pm vlc dir source
-------------------------------------
00.00 --------> stage1
02.00 --------> stage2
04.00 --------> stage3
06.00 --------> stage4
08.00 --------> stage5
12.00 --------> stage6
It can handle some basic features like
1) Printing General Information for scheduled programs
2) Matching each stage with selected radio show
3) Handling filler radio show integration (musics etc)
4) Copying one episode of radio show to matched stage folder and erasing it.
It has some problems now. Not ready yet. But,
started to code at least :)
Scheduling things handled by an obs plugin,
Advanced Scene Switcher
This plugin will allow you to automate various tasks using "Macros". Macros consist of a list of conditions under which a list of actions will be performed. Examples and guides can be found in the wiki. Feel free to contribute! If you run...obsproject.com
Hi don't know much about either, but there was this in a discord thread that I am on;
Not Sure which of us you are talking too. If you make it a "reply" it would be helpful and the person you are talking to, would get a notification.
I like your "quite a while" since you joined only 5 hours ago. LOL. So tell us about yourself and why so desperate. A few of us now use easy-on-air. There are commercial solutions available. I guess it depends on how desperate and how much you can afford. So please tell us about your situation. Have you read all of this thread?
Hi Victor/Lurker (lol): There have been a few users on this thread that have had web based solutions which would work on mac/windows and of course obs works on all but not for what you want. What you want is actually a super playlist/24/7 broadcast TV front end. I think streamlabs has a 24/7 solution that probably works on mac/windows. Don't know for sure. Of course not free, but supported. The solution that i'm working on would probably work for you but is windows only. Bootcamp maybe???? Anyway, my app is not ready yet. It's getting there. My program is more a broadcast tv/public access solution. It can work as a playlist but is designed to work in 30/60/90 etc minutes program blocks with auto fill, ads, psa etc. My goal is similar to yours in that I have or will collect tons of old tv shows, whatnots and be able to generate custom programs, to take advantage of obs compositing

Well, sounds like my solution is not going to fit (hardware wise) . That's life I guess. Most people in this thread have gone on to their own solutions even if not perfect or optimal. I guess you are stuck with web based solutions or streamlabs (which is supported), which isn't that bad, normally because they work across hardware and on many workstations at one time. Think Windows, lol. Once a mac guy always a mac guy. Guess the same thing applies to windows people. oh, my app can work across the lan to obs running on a different computer, but requires either a common NAS drive or all content to be mirrored on each computer. I haven't looked at share drives which would allow one copy of the video content. The program can also handle multiple broadcast tv stations and multiple copies of obs. It can generate a 1000 video custom play list with station bugs, insets,fills and ads in about a minute (if the videos in the same directory). It can keep track of episodes and whats been played before.
WELL,WELL,WELL! You are the first visual basic .net guy other than me that I have found on obs. Welcome Tim. It would be nice to talk vb with another vb person. It's gets a little lonely (LOL).
I deal a lot with the same type of things. Sometimes takes a second or two for vlc to load in a new video. If I'm playing a video in a scene, then loading in the next video in the same scene starts the video as soon as vlc gets ready. If you have two different scenes, you can run scene 1, video 1, and after it starts, preload scene 2, video 2. if behavior is set to start on visible then scene 2 , video will start correctly and you can use the fades transitions to fade between scenes nicely. If you try to have scene 1 be a black(1 second duration) and you preload during that, if the black scene is too short, like 1 second, you might catch the end of the previous video(1), before vlc has a chance to run the preloaded video.
So how did it work out?
